Pizza, We started out using Pinion and have used it for several months. Guess how highly our most popular server is ranked? Top 25 :) on GameTracker. I do tend to agree that Pinion is now excessive but don't try and paint everyone the same way. Pinion helped to get us off the ground and now we hav

If you need to run ad's in the MOTDs to keep your servers running then just shut down your server(s). You're doing it wrong. You are not serving the gaming community if the community isn't making donations. I have never had any problems getting players to donate to the cause. Mike Vail (a.k.a.

Yeah I noticed that sometime it just takes a few sec to load. However, in terms of pinion ads, there will be a new system for them enforced that may cause server owners to force you to want the whole ad. The idea is that they will only pay for ads that have been completely watched. Anyways, what is
